Nathan found his love and passion for the outdoors early in his life, spending every summer exploring the backcountry of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park with his family. As he got older, Nathan continued pursing his love for the natural world by exploring rivers, streams, and mountain ranges across the United States and in Europe. At the same time, Nathan found his passion for education through teaching swim lessons and working in elementary and middle school classrooms throughout high school and college. After finishing his student-teaching experience at Elon University, Nathan is so excited to return home for his fourth summer at GRP. He can’t wait to share new, amazing experiences with new and old friends!
